united states. the president of united states needs to deal with this. he needs to be talking to presidents of those countries to stop it. these are kids that are going on rail cards, riding on the top on rail cards through mexico. sexual assaults that are occurring. all of this is great consternation for any of us. when they are dumped on our cities and counties and state is expected to pick up the costs. quick giving these individuals initiatives to come up and we resettled in united states. look at china, we have a dissident we're pushing back in the form of mr. check, then we've got open arms with this -- mr. chen because we're not sending a message, we're not going to allow you to come in. and we're not going to take them back to their country. >> greta: one is the financial burden on your state. there is humanitarian issues, they are living essentially in custody, living in buildings these children are coming in. i saw a picture in the "wall street journal" today? >> these children have not been vaccinated for any diseases that are out there. they are bringing them in. in s

pretty basic information about the president of the united states. so, next time some goon from media matters or the new york times thinks they have found some factual error in something i say. i'm just going to say i'm just being a democrat today. and the facts don't matter. [applaus [applause] >> well, earlier this week president obama,ed ma the one year anniversary of the killing of osama bin laden with an unannounced visit to our troops in afghanistan. >> over the last three years, the tide has turned. we a broken the taliban's momentum. devastated al-qaeda's leadership taking out over 20 of their top 30 leaders and one year ago. from a base here in afghanistan, our troops launched the operation that killed osama bin laden. and the goal that i set to defeat al-qaeda and deny it a chance to rebuild, is now within our reach. >> well, do you think the president may be taking a little more credit than he deserves? sure, he did make the call to take bin laden out. let's take a look back at what really happened. >> after monitoring, secret hideouts for months. four chinook carried navy

united states, the corporate tax structure if particular one of the things we talked about during the presidential election is how to lure the companies back to the united states. and, listen, taxes and regulation are what drives the corporate decisionmaking. or for that matter, a small businessman and woman who are trying to decide what they are going to expand their business. it is about taxes. about regulation. and in some cases about the legal structure, as well. one of the reasons texas is the best place in the country to do business, according to c.e.o. magazine, as late as day before yesterday they ranked the states, again, for 2011, and taxes and regulation. quality of your workforce obviously is part of that and they have 650 of their corporate leaders across the country were asked to measure the states with the matrix of taxes and regulation, and legal system, quality of life, quality of the workforce, and texas came in number one. florida was public two. scott is doing a great job of competing. looking at that list, louisiana moved up 14 places. the governor understands

these countries are bound together. they all got together in order to hurt the united states. they wanted to create something as big or bigger than the united states. so they could do airbus and they could do lots of different companies that would compete against boeing and our companies. when you look what is really happening, i said it a long time we have a chances to even go bigger and better. we'll see what happens. in the meantime, germany is trying to take over the world economically. they weren't able to do it militarily. i think a lot of countries are going back to their own currency i think the euro is going the way of dust. i don't think it left hand around too long. you can't impose austerity on the people when they are not used to it. depression can do that, when the depression comes, then everybody gets it, but you can't have somebody that is doing very well by the way, everybody is going to get it and it doesn't work that way. >> greta: it's an historic, germany didn't take over the world militarily but they are trying to do it economically? >> if you look what is hap

end. and she is now a spokesman for the president of the united states. >>randy: so glad you brought that up, because the truth if that testimony, all that elizabeth edwards knew was essentially a one night stand, that is what she was so angry about. no proof that she knew of a pregnancy, that this was a long-term affair, so, therefore, her testimony in reality did not hurt john edwards at all. what i found compelling the way the government chose to end the case, is by showing, (a), allowing the proof shown that not one check went to the campaign. this is a case about campaign contribution. they have not proven that. but more important, for john edwards to be portrayed as someone would not he still had a political career says i didn't think i did anything wrong. >>arthur: he is so full of himself and so deceiving himself he thought he would be a supreme court justice? having a love child in the middle of a presidential campaign. no one would allow that. if you read the book "game change," to the end the night of the iowa caucus they call obama's campaign, i will step aside and be vic

is in decline and, yes, the united states remains the most powerful weaponized military system the earth has ever known. that is treacherous combination. no politician will say that the empire is declining and that the game is over. it's over. now what? >> someone from romney and someone from obama's past. >> he really thinks it is over. he you have to ask yourself why. the guy that wrote the book what he is saying, what he is saying let's the first of all remember nobody has any money, nobody is buying anything, nobody is going out and getting things in terms of expensive clothing. to me the most important thing for romney to do is not take the bait and talk about economic mobility. that is what people in america want. i realize i was born in wealth but if i worked really hard i could get there but i'm not going to get a job if they don't have any money. doesn't it look poorly on president obama with bill ayers? >> this is like a football game. on one side you 6 capitalism. on the other side you have socialism. the problem is barack obama is the referee. any time you go into anoth

united states should have done more on this man's behalf at the top of our next hour. >>> fox news alert coming in now on some new documents we have our hands on that are raising new questions about the relationship between george zimmer and the police department in sanford, florida. zimmerman stands charged with second-degree murder after he shot and killed teenager trayvon martin. he claims, zimmerman does, that he was under attack and that he was acting in self-defense. sanford police were widely criticized for how they handled this investigation. among other things, they did not test his blood alcohol content although they did test trayvon martin, and now we're learning more about the relationship between zimmerman and that very same police department. trace gallagher live in our west coast newsroom with more. trace? >> reporter: and, megyn, before sanford police chief bill lee resigned because of the accusations that his department mishandled the trayvon martin shooting, chief lee said that he did not know george zimmerman prior to the shooting. well, it turns out that zimmerm

and on jobs and what they see in the united states senate today led by democrats is something that you mentioned earlier and that is the fact that we budget inssed a put in three three years. it has become dysfunctional and more recently a place where the presidential campaign has sort of been litigated. they moved the presidential campaign to the floor of the united states senate. we continue to have votes nothing about political messaging. talking about the buffett tax rule and the interest rate on student loans which needs to be addressed but they want to do it in a way that republicans can't support. the reason it is not functioning today is because it has been converted into something that is about political gimmicks rather than about involving problems. the people run aring across the country are talking about spending, they are talking about debt and jobs and talking about the economy which are all things on the hearts and minds of the american people and we need people to come to washington who are are serious about addressing those challenges. many of us in the united stat

united states. >> greta: okay. it's clear that you are supporting the republican nominee. have you thrown your support behind governor romney. what is the reason why you don't support president obama? what is the difference between the two parties, the two candidates as we approach november? >> here again, it's real simple. governor romney gets it right on the big issues. president obama get its wrong on the big issues. governor romney understands what it's going to take to boost this economy to a growth rate that this economy is capable of. no policies of president obam have boosted the economy. we are now at something less than 2%. that's not what our economy is capable of. governor romney get its right on energy independence. he knows and has stated that we can maximize all of our energy resources in this country to become energy independent. everything that president obama does seems to be opposite of that. and then the other thing that governor romney get its right on is he wants to repeal obamacare. he has stated it. and he is serious about it. and he is serious about leading the ef
